Hi, I have a Kona EV 2023 Ultimate (UK). It is not the new shape, so the battery is a little smaller. I recently did a journey from London to Yorkshire and back.
- Dec - temperatures in 5-7 degrees centigrade.
- Each leg of the journey was 200 miles, 187 miles motorway driving and 13 miles city driving.
- Speeds were mostly 70 miles per hour for motorway.
- Driving at night with headlights and heating on all the time.
- Charged to 100% on the day, at destination I had 26% battery left or 63 miles to go.
- Same journey same conditions four days apart, with same results
So my Kona can manage 260 miles (say 250 miles) driving at 70 mph or 110 KMH, in cold temps, at night with heating and headlights on. This makes the range 400 km, under these conditions.

As I understand it, the Kona EV has 4 trim variants (in the UK) called Advance, Ultimate, N Line and N Line S. The Advance comes with 17" wheels, with the choice of 48.4 or 65.4kWh battery. All the rest come with the 19" wheels and 65.4kWh battery by default. Only the Ultimate trim has the option of switching to the 17"wheels. So, if you choose N Line or N Line S, you have to have the 19" wheels. The driving range is 282miles on 19" wheels and 319miles on 17" wheels with the 65.4kWh battery.

Love the physical buttons. This could make me like this car more than HI5 or EV6

[rippedupno]

Thank you for a really useful review. Could i ask that as the review is in English would you please consider turning the car's displays to English so we can understand what it means. Thank you again for a great video.

[SimonStaxPoker]

Do you need to turn off those safety settings every single time you drive?

[moa]

Don't forget that France 's let you drive up to 130 km/h too.

[TassieEV]

Thanks Kris for your video. I'd love to know what real world is with summer tires and warmer temps but may have to test that myself as this EV is on my shortlist either that or the Atto 3 or Ioniq 5.

[renebergqvist]

What do you mean 130 km/h is 🇩🇪 and 🇦🇹 only ?
Denmark Italy and France have 130 km/h on the motorway. It is only 🇳🇱 that recently have reduced most of the time to 100 km/h.

Which range battery is it for god sakes?

[davidwillwill]

Thanks for the review. Really Useful. I'm a little disappointed at the consumption though. I feel like I get better out of my 2021 Kona, although to be sure I would have to do a test at 13 degrees like you. I drove from Genova to Firenze and got around 420k doing around 110-115k/hr - this was at a much warmer 22-23 degrees. But would 10 degrees of difference make such a difference in range, do you think?

[simondehaas]

Surprised how high the consumption is. I would expect around 180wh/km in my ID3 at those temperatures and speeds (all very typical for here in the UK). But 215 miles is still pretty good.

[Kauppamopo]

110 km/h vs 130 km/h
speed goes up by 16, 6%
consumption goes up by 26, 7%

Especially Portuguese are always amused when seeing a cona. Let's ask google translate why... 😂

[henvan]

There appears to be a lot of menu selections before you drive. Does the car remember these settings or do you need to do this every time you drive. The overall operation still looks clunky.

[iangardner]

What is price comparison of the old 2023 to new 2024 version?

[marfandestroyer]

Give me some advice. ID3 58 with a heat pump or Kona 65 with a heat pump? I travel a lot on the road at speeds of 120 km around Poland. I like the ID3 better, but I expect a big difference in travel time (better range) in Kona.

Does it still beep like a truck, when reversing?

[jmoro]

What's the best charging speed to prolong battery life??

[imnothere]

Is there any collated spreadsheet of all these results?

[ellisbarnes]

What is the official colour name of your version?
